Good one on getting followers. Follow me pleaZzz! I am an artist getting myself out there. Yes I boast about myself.. tee hee and No, I am not embarrassed to do so. I write about art, my art and others, plus add whatever interests me in politics (especially), and ideas that come to mind.

“Maybe I just dont get the Twitter thing. Is it for marketing? If not why would you want people you dont know following you?”

This is what really grinds my gears with social sites, they are all full of this junk. Take Digg for example: the amount of promotional literature on there is astonishing, and Squidoo is just a dirty “back alley” search engine spam fest.

As for Twitter, it’s going to go the same way all the social sites go: downhill. It’s not the first nor the last I should imagine. This is why I dislike companies creating a Facebook page and becoming “friends” with everyone in their local area. Hint: it’s called Facebook…you gotta have a face!

I understand where a lot of ppl are coming from. Just last week had a had no idea what twitter was and didn’t care either. But, it really is a great marketing tool. For some, twittering is fun in itself. Kind of like IM’ing or something. Just random talking. But, twitter can be a great promotional tool. Like word of mouth via the internet. Some ppl don’t like it…ok. No need to bash it because you don’t understand. I’ve heard some ppl say their blog only sees maybe 5% traffic compared to their twitter followers but the way I look at it is that’s 5% traffic that you wouldn’t have gotten! Staying up to date on social media, to me, is what marketing is all about. How to get to your target market and what your target market is in to. Right now, twitter is what my market is into so I’m going to twitter on! BTW, you can follow me at twitter.com/theavongirl
